Adopt A Village in Laos
Forwarded from Mike Story: My wife Dawn and i and the Rotary Club of Ladner has been involved with the founder (Steve Rutledge - Rotarian since 2010) of “Adopt A Village In Laos” Foundation (AAVIL) for about 7 years now. Every year, a group of us from various Rotary clubs travel to Laos for a couple of weeks to help out with distribution of water filters.
There is an opportunity for individual Rotarians to purchase a water filter for $125 Canadian and receive a Canadian tax receipt. That water filter will bear the name of the donor and a photo of the family in Laos who receives the photo will be emailed to the donor. I have personally been on 5 trips to Laos to assist with the distribution of water filters and I can confirm first hand that all these families treasure the gift of a water filter which provides a family with clean water for 10 years.
